Datacap and EDS services

I'm using Datacap 9.0.1.2 with Content Navigator icn203.800.411. Content Navigator already uses an EDS used by custom plugin to look up the choice list values for a property, implementing GetObjectTypesServlet and UpdateObjectTypeServlet. Now I need to deploy ad EDS for a Datacap solution: is there a way to use one EDS for both legacy plugin and Datacap solution?

@umbrix Datacap uses the same EDS service as ICN, there is no support for using a different EDS service for the Datacap plug-in. I'm curious, if Datacap is adding to the same repository that ICN works with, then why is there a need for a separate EDS service for Datacap?

I'm not familiar with the context information included by the Datacap plug-in when it submits a request to the ICN EDS service, but if there is some indication that the request was submitted from the Datacap plug-in then you could update the ICN EDS service to apply the Datacap handling based on that indication. That would require merging the logic of your DatacapEDSService into your ICN EDSService.

@rkyker Thanks, but it is quite different. We already deployed a custom EDSService application into our application container, setting the URL of the edsPlugin configuration to point to that external data service. Now we have to deploy the DatacapEDSService application into our application container, too. So we need to know if there is a way to have more than one URL in the edsPlugin configuration, or to "merge" two different EDSServices (the custom and the Datacap ones) into one.
